Title: 
Stan Brakhage on Georges Méliès and Man Ray,
Description: 
Stan Brakhage tells a personal story about Yvonne Rainer. He then gives a biography of Georges Méliès. Brakhage analyzes the symbolism in Méliès' films. He describes animation as a 'male-dominated, sexual act' and cites Winsor McKay's film, 'Gertie the Dinosaur,' as an example. Brakhage describes Man Ray, which leads to a comparison of still photography and film. He talks about Ray's films as being the result of stream of consciousness thinking. He also analyzes the symbolism in Ray's films 'Emak-Bakia' and 'L'Étoile de mer.' Brakhage answers questions about Marie Menken.
